I only eat a baked potato a few times a year. Mainly I do them as stuffed.
I mash them with rice milk, olive oil, green onions and nutritional yeast.
Makes a lovely meal!

Otherwise I might get a baked potato at a buffet.

Mostly I do mashed potatoes. The way I do them these days is with sea salt,
plenty of coarsely ground black pepper (I don't mind the black specks) and
Nucoa margarine. That way they are dairy free.

I am getting really sick of pasta. I don't know if it's because we have to
eat the gluten free kind or what. Or maybe because we ate it so often last
year. We had it at least once a week because it was quick to fix. My
cupboard is full of pasta. I just can't bring myself to make it unless
daughter asks. I don't mind the tuna casserole now that I have found that
good mushroom gravy to use in it. And later in the week I will be making
faux pierogies using large shells. I also don't mind mac and cheese. I
guess it's just the Italian type pasta things I am sick of.

Years ago, a quick and common meal for me was spaghetti or whatever other
pasta I had in the house with parmesan cheese, a little butter or margarine,
some Italian seasoning and a ton of black pepper. Sometimes I would put
kidney beans in the mix. That still sounds good, but too many carbs to have
that as a meal now.

Gee... I wonder how many pounds of potatoes we eat? I bought several
Costco sized bags over the past year, but also threw a lot away. I won't
buy them there any more. We just can't eat them fast enough. Now I just
buy a few pounds at a time. And daughter likes the instant for mashed.
Those keep well.
